Thanks, Philip!  I love that those former Family Lines and Seaboard System cars are still out there.  Their ranks must be thinning, though.  It's been more than thirty years since those paint schemes disappeared under fallen flags.

Thanks for thinking of me @Philip H but I stopped modeling at YN3.  No boxcar logo cars for me, had to draw a line somewhere

Still a great shot !

Power plant outside of town is getting a new transformer delivered.  Guy at plant told me they have almost $5 million invested in the cost/transportation/installation of the unit.  And it's only a SPARE !

Here is transport trailer they will use to move it from the railcar to the plant location about a mile from rail siding.
